Choplifter III is a shoot 'em up video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. It was the third Choplifter title starting with the original Apple II game released in 1982.

A portable version of the game was released for the Game Gear, but this version was actually a remake of Choplifter II. This version of the game was subsequently re-released for the Game Boy.[5]

Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

The gameplay revolves around piloting a rescue helicopter into hostile territory and rescuing hostages. The player's task is made more complicated by the limited number of hostages the helicopter can carry as well as increasing difficulty throughout the four chapters of the game. Each chapter is split into four collective stages and set in a different environment, starting off with jungle, desert, sea, and finally city.

The game also has a number of minibosses spread throughout the campaign.

Reception

GamePro gave the game a mostly positive review, commending its "beautiful" graphics and "addictive" gameplay.[12] Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 7.8 out of 10, commenting that it is suitable for fans of military simulation games.[13] In 1995, Total! ranked the game 92nd on their "Top 100 SNES Games" list.[14]
